Christ can we go a season without playing Derby?

- Thread starter fergosaurus

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Pathetic draw as always. Dippers, Chelsea, City all getting cakewalks while we have a tough away banana skin.
I don’t know about that. Decent fans on both sides. The fans from Liverpool tend to be better. Ones I’ve met from outside have been bell endsThe fans shaking hands
Imagine if we got Liverpool they had to do that
Here's my prediction : Northampton 2 - 8 United
I’d rather Wolves....oh wait
Jesus christ we play Derby every fecking year.
We'll just get Fred to man mark Rooney and bobs your uncle.
At least twice a year....Manchester derby..
Dippers and Chelsea both going through to the next round seems a bit unfair. Blame VAR.
I know
He'll get back to you. Might be "sick".
Probably not much of a chance of either coming back by first week of March.
Once the league is won and Atletico knocks them out is Klopp going to send his team for a 3 week vacation or something?
Extending the summer break because they have too little rest?
Extending the summer break because they have too little rest?
I watched the Northampton v Derby match, and Rooney was pretty non existent, didn't really create a lot, and had one shot. Northampton had chances to win, and Derby had no shots on target. United should have no problem with Derby if they beat the mighty Cobblers next week.
I see you are slightly worse than Colchester. Still we probably need to rush Rashford back and play half injured players to beat you lot
.After watching him against Northampton, I wouldn't worry too much about him, and Derby are not great these days.
It could be Northampton.
And have we got to a point we're calling Derby tough?
We could have got Chelsea, Leicester, City etc etc
Then we'll just have to man mark your best Player once you get through to the next round.
Keith Curle is manager, think Wimbledon and you'll get the style of football, two big strikers, and dangerous from set pieces.I see you are slightly worse than Colchester. Still we probably need to rush Rashford back and play half injured players to beat you lot
Didn't realise we had any Cobblers fans on here. Are you from Northampton?
I spent many a Saturday afternoon in the Greyfriars bus station as a wee lad. Knocked down now of course and still probably a giant pile of rubble...
Since Derby have been in the prem we’ve played them:
2009 League Cup
2009 League Cup
2009 FA Cup
2016 FA Cup
2018 FA Cup
2018 League Cup
2020 FA Cup
They need to feck off.
2009 League Cup
2009 League Cup
2009 FA Cup
2016 FA Cup
2018 FA Cup
2018 League Cup
2020 FA Cup
They need to feck off.
Yep, could be. Just say if Northampton get through then the CB's will get plenty of heading practice.
Does that Akinfenwa tank still play for Northampton? I want to him pick up Maguire and launch him like a pencil.
A village 10 miles from Northampton, and yes, it's still rubble, but flat rubble.
Could be worse. It'll be Derby, and a reunion with Wazza. Could be a banana skin, that.
At Wycombe I believe, and still scoring goals. Are we looking for a striker?????

United losing to Derby in the league cup in Old Trafford last season is still fresh in the memory and most thought United would have no problems with that tie.
Wouldn’t mind if it ends up being Northampton I live here at the moment for university and their stadium (sixfields) is a bus ride away
The quarter-final draw has the potential to be strongest ever. A lot of big clubs still in the hunt and pretty much all avoiding each other in this upcoming round.
You won't need to, as long as Maguire and the other CB (s) win the aerial battles, then United will be fine, but I think Derby will probably win.I see you are slightly worse than Colchester. Still we probably need to rush Rashford back and play half injured players to beat you lot
Lucky you
Is it really that many times? For the life of me I don't remember the two highlighted games
Also completely forgot Rooney plays for them now, guess we should have seen it coming
Im with you, im always hoping for an away tieI can't be the only season ticket holder delighted at an away game to a lower division club, and no replay
Very good. No Best or Kidd this time, and the Cobblers won't have Kim Book in goal. I was there, the only time I got a ticket for the main stand. It was a boggy old pitch, worse than Prenton Park, but at least Sixfields is a lot better surface than that old County Ground that they shared with Northamptonshire Cricket Club.
Cant complain about that. Longer we avoid the harder teams, more time for one of the 3 main guys to return and help us out/give a chance for when we do.
Lee Grant took lessons from DDG about saving penos that night . And Phil Jones took a peno.
This time we got clean sheet Romero. Jones might play though so if we go to pens and it is a tie after 10 pens he might shoot one
.Bloody Derby! So boring, I hope Northampton beat them so we can at least have someone different. Still a nice draw though, thankfully.
Some still do.
Baffling.
Derby away in the FA Cup back in 2016 was one of the best and most memorable away days in recent years.
We took 5,000 fans on a Friday night and it was absolutely bouncing. More than fancy a repeat of that.

How can we both have cakewalk's when (if they win the replay) we've drawn eachother?
